12 second passes are going to be 105+MPH on a front wheel drive car. The only way you're going to run a 12 with a trap under 105 is with a low 60', and we all know that front wheel drive and low 60' times do not go together. Even a rear wheel drive car running a 12.9 is going to trap quicker than 102-103MPH.

13.3 sound like a great time. There is always the "possibility" to do better at almost anything a person could do...but you ran a 13.3 in a ficken focus! Congrats! I bet you find a way to get to the 12's.

I agree but not that far off. Looks like its laying down pretty good.

But I only have 181ft/lbs of torque, that plus the fact that I don't have an intercooler and the IAT's are reaching 220 degrees by the end of 3rd gear and the ECU is pulling timing all the way through 4th. I think that 13.37 is pretty good. Oh and I forgot to put the 60' on the time slip in my first post it was 1.942.

if you had an IC, you would be able to pull a little more torque, and prolly run 12s. You could definitely bring the 60' down some more too, get it to about 1.88 and youd be golden.

Originally posted by kenpokid nope...I have seen a 8000 pound diesel run 12.9 at 102.7...A focus with 200+ ft/lbs of torque could definitely pull that mph and end with a high 12. Mid 12s is about 112 - 117ish, low 12s is about 118 - 123ish. Depends on your 60' though too.

But his mph was good for high 12, I just dont think the car could do it without having more torque under its belt.
